I know I know I was asking for it- going out in the car on a Sunday; 'Sunday drivers'... As I was sat/stuck behind yet another slow, overly cautious (shit - IMO) driver it infuriated me that she left a car sized gap between her and the car in front of her. These selfish twats idly trundle by just as the lights change leaving whoever was stuck behind them (and their massive unnecessary gap...) stuck at the lights. I curse them. What and/or who really gets you mad?

YouTheCat · 06/08/2017 19:53

People who stop at the bottom of escalators. Twats.

People who drop litter. Arsewipes.

People who sit on the bus, staring at their sodding phones whilst their kids are trying to talk to them. Rude wankers.

People who can't walk down a street without having a shouted conversation. I do realise that some may have hearing impairments but I'd bet it isn't one in three, which seems to be the ratio of shouters to normal volume talkers.

Faffers
YES! I have a friend who seems to find making the most simple decision a challenge. I watched her deliberate over what new phone to get for about 3-4 months. I've watched her deliberate over where to go on holiday for so long.. they didn't go! She's been wanting to leave her job (which makes her miserable) for the entire 6 years I've known her but I guess that's a decision of such monumental proportions maybe it'll take her decades?! As someone who just gets on and does stuff, I find it so frustrating to watch despite (or maybe because of) loving her to bitsBlush

IshipTomHardysohard · 06/08/2017 19:55

People who stand slow close to you in a que that you can feel them breathing on you Envy

It does not get them paying any faster!

I was in a and e with my son few weeks ago and was given the receptionist some personal details and this women was literally standing next to me! Told her to back off in the end, she was shocked 😳 idiot

Spikeyball · 06/08/2017 19:56

People who park half their car on the pavement.
People who don't pick up dog muck.
People who let their dog off lead in places where it is not allowed.
People who park in blue badge spaces without a bb.

IshipTomHardysohard · 06/08/2017 19:56

Oh and people who check in hospitals on fb. Understand if your wanting to let family know but I'm on about the ones who just do it for attention. Grrrrr

waitingforgodot · 06/08/2017 19:56

Drivers who don't acknowledge you when you stop to let them pass. Same goes for people who don't say thank you when you hold a door open for them. Both give me the rage!

AWendyAteMyFitbit · 06/08/2017 19:56

Overly loud public parenters: "No Jocasta! We don't touch the focaccia until it's bought."- everyone in the supermarket must hear this or it didn't happen.

Pregnant smokers: selfish fucks.

People that talk AT you and don't listen at all.

Ott lip-fillers. They look ridiculous and give the impression of having a tash, nutters.

Pierced babies for obvious reasons.

Racism fucks me off mightily - it denotes low intelligence imo.

Thanks op that was cathartic, do think I have pmt though Blush.

coffeekittens · 06/08/2017 19:58

Noisy eaters.
People showing or trying to tell me about shit they've seen on Facebook, a family member does it constantly usually when I'm trying to fucking work, the last thing I want to hear about when I'm sending important emails is a pig being friends with a bloody cat.
People who chat in supermarkets.

MartinJD · 06/08/2017 19:58

DoDaChaCha: Leaving a car sized gap is actually good practice, i shudder to think of the rest of your habits as a driver if a seemingly safe mode of driving "fucks you off" simply because you're stuck at some lights.

Best,
M.JD

Intolerance.

Mumzypopz · 06/08/2017 20:01

Op...people who leave a car sized gap between you and person in front annoy you!!! I would leave several car sized gaps between me and car in front. Think you need to read the tailgating thread!!!

BakerBear · 06/08/2017 20:04

People who don't use car seats (I know a few)

People who don't strap their children in their car seats properly

Shoes on babies

Leaking nappies

Tastesjustlikecherrycola85 · 06/08/2017 20:05

Duck pouts
People who stop dead in front of you
Slow walkers
Vaguebooking
Modern music

fruityb · 06/08/2017 20:06

Slow walkers

Loud eaters

Smokers at hospital doors - seeing people pulling their drip along in their dressing gown so they can have a smoke. I smoked, I never ever got that urge like that.

Tailgaters and aggressive drivers

Hashtags - blessed and making memories and family time in particular

People who put ketchup in your sandwich without ever asking if you like it. My BIL does this every time we stay over even when I've said so!!

Being asked the same thing over and over. My OH asks me constantly dates and times even though I'll have told him god knows how many times.

Being ignored or talked over. People do this to me all the time - I can be midway through a sentence and someone will just start talking!

AllToadsLeadToHome · 06/08/2017 20:07

People who open their car door as wide as they can and slam it into the car next to them in the carpark even though there is a big space between the cars and they could open it carefully. So that they don't leave a big white lump of paint of their beaten up of heap of a car on the dark one parked next to it in the Two Rivers Car Park in Staines and pretend they didn't do it when the passenger gets out of the dark car to see what the huge bang was. And yes I have the registration. and it will be appearing on social media very soon along with a description of the fat balding driver, the blonde son and the woman with the blonde pixie cut that slammed the door open with no thought for anyone else.

Spudlet · 06/08/2017 20:10

The person who decided to overtake some cyclists on a blind bend today when I was coming the other way. I don't care if you're late. I don't care if you've been stuck behind them all fucking WEEK. You are a fucking cunt, and I hope you heard it when I screamed that at you as I veered towards the ditch to avoid you. And if I'd had time to register the company logo on your lorry, rest assured that I'd be doing all I could to see you on the dole.

Purplemac · 06/08/2017 20:11

I work in London and nothing infuriates me more than somebody taking a photo of their friend with the whole distance of the pavement between them, expecting everyone to walk into the road to get around them so as not to interrupt their photo. I see this at least 3 times a day, and I always just walk between the photographer and the photographee, because I am not walking on a fucking busy road just so they can get a good photo with Trafalgar square in the background.

IDoDaChaCha · 06/08/2017 20:13

IshipTom urgh, breathing on you they're that close. I was down south in a premier inn (again, my fault) when a family of American tourists pushed their way into the full lift in the morning pushing us all back so far the Japanese guy stood behind me was touching my ass with hands clasped in front of him so his bits weren't actually pressing into me!! I was 3 months pregnant and in a weepy phase. Had I been in a rage phase (there were a lot more of them) I'd have said NO, LIFT IS FULL GET THE NEXT ONE! Grinning at us and smarming their way in crushing everyone. I'm not really an American-hater (see 'hack' Grin) but at that moment I despised them all...
